(The Lion) — In what may be another example of America abandoning wokeness, e-commerce giant Amazon has restored the listing of a book critical of transgenderism.

Ryan Anderson’s book, When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment, is once again available after being blacklisted for four years.

“After a four-year ban, Amazon has returned my book to their cyber shelves. Am grateful to all my friends and allies who pushed for this to happen,” said Anderson, the president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), a think tank that seeks to achieve “civic and cultural renewal” through application of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

The author noted as well that his book has reached the top spot in “LGBTQ Demographic Studies” and was listed near the top in “natural law” on Amazon’s site.

Published in February 2018, the book earned 4.21 stars on Goodreads, which includes a description of the book:

“The transgender movement has hit breakneck speed. In the space of a year, it’s gone from something that most Americans had never heard of to a cause claiming the mantle of civil rights.

“But can a boy truly be ‘trapped’ in a girl’s body? Can modern medicine really ‘reassign’ sex? Is sex something ‘assigned’ in the first place? What’s the loving response to a friend or child experiencing a gender-identity conflict? What should our law say on these issues?

“When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment provides thoughtful answers to all of these questions. Drawing on the best insights from biology, psychology, and philosophy, Ryan T. Anderson offers a balanced approach to the policy issues, a nuanced vision of human embodiment, and a sober and honest survey of the human costs of getting human nature wrong.”

Following its publication, Anderson’s book hit the top of two of Amazon’s bestseller lists, but was yanked from the site in February 2021, just a few weeks after Joe Biden was inaugurated and launched his gender ideology-focused policy agenda.

In a statement about its reversal, Amazon says it originally delisted Anderson’s book because it “violated our guideline prohibiting books that promote hate speech,” but positive customer feedback about the book and peer retailers led them to reconsider.

“The combination of our peer retailers continuing to sell the book and the ongoing feedback made us re-examine our decision,” Amazon said. “As was the case when we reviewed the book a few years ago, it was not an easy decision, but we concluded that we erred on the side of being too restrictive last time, and decided to return the book to our store.”

Anderson told the Daily Mail he’s happy Amazon acknowledged its error – but still believes its defense of its actions leaves much to be desired.

“I’m glad that the company is able to admit they made a bad decision four years ago,” he said. “However, the statement they put out attempting to explain away their mistake is pathetic.

“So my book wasn’t hate speech for three years, then it was hate speech for four years, now it’s not again,” Anderson responded on X to Amazon’s statement. “Contrast this with Amazon’s own AI-generated summary of the customer reviews saying how charitable the book is.”

“There is nothing objectionable in my book and nothing remotely approaching ‘hate speech,’” Anderson further asserted. “For Amazon to continue to insist that the book is borderline ‘hate speech’ and that it is a tough call on whether or not to sell it is nothing short of ridiculous.”

Princeton law professor Robert P. George agrees: “Amazon, having now done the right thing, should stop trying to rationalize having previously done the wrong thing. It’s embarrassing.”

In reality, it appears Amazon, like other major American companies, is retreating from the “woke” agenda.

As The Lion also reported recently, conservative activist Robby Starbuck announced his film titled The War on Children has been “unbanned” on Amazon’s Prime Video platform.

Starbuck told Fox News Digital he was told his film about the radical left’s attempt to control the minds of America’s youth was banned from the streaming platform because it contained “offensive content.”

“It was banned solely on the basis that it upset the far-left activists that wanted to perpetuate the idea that it’s normal to give sex changes to kids,” Starbuck said, but noted that, with Trump’s return to the White House, he is seeing a remarkable turnaround.

America, he said, is “done with wokeness. People are turning against it. People in Big Tech who secretly hated the woke stuff, they felt like, ‘OK, we have permission now to turn against it.’”
